Yaay, arts! And the first time someone made a new competition thread other than me! :D

Re: Camera phone competition January 2016:"Arts"
 

Exciting theme!

Re: Camera phone competition January 2016:"Arts"
 

Please, take care of tags. They are more useful than typing "camera competition" in search field. Though, tags have length limit...

Thank you. Best wishes.

N900 as always.

Few days left guys... Hurry up !

Taken with N9 and Camera+

Cropped and color/contrast adjusted a little with gallery editor.

Some local public art.

Before the growth of suburbia in the mid 20th century, public art installed both by private and public entities was quite common here. But the featurelessness of the suburbs curtailed that. Fortunately, by the 1990s, this was addressed both with various initiatives promoting both publicly and privately funded works. Some are more popular than others. I skipped the better known stuff and braved the Canada Geese and their leavings to get a shot of this abstract piece.

Also, just for fun, including a second unedited non-competition entry because I thought it was cool to see this shot got photo-bombed by a great blue heron tn the background.

Finally one that qualifies! ;)

Just one small thing: the IMG tags go around the URL, not before it :)

Re: Camera phone competition January 2016:"Arts"
 

Have you ever tried to get the "paste" bubble to appear in the N9 maemo talk applet without bringing up the dictionary instead? :p My kingdom for a cursor key!!! (Four cursor keys, really. Or at least a stylus on a best-of-both-worlds capacitoresistive screen, that supported multi-touch and precision pointing. All I want is everything, I guess.) Every time I gotta go back with something that's got a keyboard to straighten that out . . .

(Although the second pic I didn't bother to even do that and intentionally left just as a raw URL since I didn't want it to distract from my actual entry.)

Re: Camera phone competition January 2016:"Arts"
 

Sorry, but what's the problem with my mosaic ? It isn't an artistic creation or it just isn't good enough for you ? :)

Re: Camera phone competition January 2016:"Arts"
 

I found your mosaic to be an artistic creation and I like your photo of it. It's definitely better than my Space Shuttle Launch mosaic I did back "in the day." (So long back in the day that the orbiter's external fuel tank is painted white instead of left a raw orangey color to save dollars and weight . . . which also means dollars.) You should all be thanking me for not photographing that -- I've still got it.

Re: Camera phone competition January 2016:"Arts"
 

Nothing at all! Sorry, I wasn't quite with it when I wrote that. Please ignore me.

Re: Camera phone competition January 2016:"Arts"
 

Just to illustrate how much off I am, here is my entry. Painted on our garden fence by my wife last summer with some leftover paint to entertain the kids, taken this morning with my N900.

Re: Camera phone competition January 2016:"Arts"
 

Sorry. :(
What kind of a set is that? What were you recording?

Re: Camera phone competition January 2016:"Arts"
 

no problem, i will be quicker next time!!

German zdf made a feature clip for upcoming live show apperance on morning television next friday.
The "set" is my production kitchen and only set up for the one single camera position and mainly closeups :p
So not much of a pretty view from my pov.
We are a sort of a "sushi Institute" and teach professionals and amateurs to do sushi.

#2 late88 (Jolla phone)


The first days of month I came to General (several times) but there wasn't any new competition (and there was not any link/post in previous competition to this one) :confused: so I lost the game :(

I have 3 pics; Tonight, I will edit this post and put them here for my friends to see and enjoy them (not for competition that is very late).


Good luck :)

Re: Camera phone competition January 2016:"Arts"
 

Nice stuff, please don't be late for next month, the more the merrier here!

BTW, which one of those would have been your entry this month? And where did you find the nice subjects? If you say, "my living room," though, I might just cry.

Re: Camera phone competition January 2016:"Arts"
 

OK, here are the results.

1st place - robthebold, 5 votes (Half-Life_4_Life, pichlo, chenliangchen, mosen, saponga)
http://i.imgur.com/9rSJmxV.jpg

Taken with Nokia N9.


2nd place - saponga, 2 votes (robthebold, juiceme)

3rd place - late 88 and pichlo, 1 vote each (hrbani, michaa62)

So congratulations to robthebold. And thanks to everyone else who participated and voted. :)

BTW @mosen, I'm interested in filming and photography myself so that's why I was curious about this photo.

Re: Camera phone competition January 2016:"Arts"
 

Thanks, OK, thank you, :p

I love all of theme but I think with #3 because better photography.

Not in "my living room", but in "my father's living room" ;):D

In reality,
#1 and #2 are in our living room (I live with my parents).
#3 was in its packing I put it on our old wooden desk and took a picture.
#4 was a Postal card.

Many of Iranians have Handicrafts like those and more than them :o.

Explanations:
#1
Frame is Khatam [and this in persian, more images].
Content is Etching on copper [and this in persian, more images].

#2
Frame is Woodcut / Wood carving [more images].
Content is a Carpets (Pictorial carpet) [more images] with a Islamic/Persian Calligraphy [more images] of a famous Ayah from Holy Quran.

#3
A copper plate with Etching on it.

#4
A Postal Card from one of the master Farshchian miniatures (more images, his official site).

And there is a lot of others like:
